Please make sure your project ideas are all in your lists NOW, we can only review what is there and if you have an incomplete list you risk your org being rejected this year.

Please review your lists, Org Admins it is your responsibility to be sure the Project Ideas represent your org appropriately.

The WHIP one is obviously way too overscoped and challenging for a student.
